This has been Thanksgiving week here in Canada and it has been a good one here on Starting Right.  Today we look back at what we have talked about and see that we have so much to be thankful for.  Jesus is alive, He speaks to us, and He has given us everything we need to go through every test we face.  No matter what, "There is hope for your future."

The prophet Habakkuk was upset with God because everywhere people were getting away with all kinds of evil.  There was no justice throughout the land.
